110 – What Are You Waiting For?
The Setup
I had a revelation during an exercise where I reflect and review on a emotionally triggering event from the day before. I was digesting some frustrations at my son who is just getting so damn mad at me when I ask him to do normal easy things – like get dressed, or put shoes on, or get a coat on, or to put his clothing away. And after looking at this situation from multiple angles, I came to the realization that overall in many areas and situations of my life. I’m pressing so hard to get to a point. This point, what it is, I have no freaking clue.
It’s like I’m pushing to some imaginary finish line that I already know doesn’t exist. And I’ve been doing this in business, in coaching, in parenting, and personally in myself. And I’m done with that.
I am instead going to look for the beauty and look to my business and family, in the day to day stuff, my heaven on earth. As they are my reward already.
I am going to quit pressing for this unknown thing I’ve been chasing. Instead I’m chasing the moment.
And as I look at my passions and gifts; it’s time to use them NOW. Not someday, or after the kids go to bed, but in each and every day.
This is an emotional episode – make sure to listen in.
No homework today, just reflect on what I’m saying.
That is all,
Coach Nick
